Eversince I picked up crocheting last year, I had always wanted to do a sun hat for my daughters.
So I tried to find a simple enough pattern for me to follow but I only managed to do so recently. I followed the pattern but it failed quite badly as the size did not fit my 16 month daughter. Hence, i had to revise the pattern but alas, I did not write down my version of the pattern.
So here it is ….

It fits her just nice for now and she will most probably outgrow it in a few months.
And… I want to ask experiece crocheters out there… what is worsted yarn?
You see… I go to Spotlight to buy my yarns but on the packaging, it does not indicated whether it is worsted or not. As for the yarn I used for this hat… it is known as corn fibre… product of Australia… so is it worsted yarn or not? I am in total confusion!
Help?

Hi Wen. “Worsted” is the weight of the yarn. It can be very confusing, as different countries have different names for yarn weights, and different systems for needle/hook sizes. Check out this useful site:

Good luck!
